This interactive installation merges a playable 3D game environment with physical elements that echo its digital textures. Visitors navigate a collective virtual “home” built from personal stories and reconstructed memory fragments onscreen, then encounter those same patterns applied as printed image textures on fabric and objects. A 55-inch monitor displays the interactive map, while a bunk bed sits at the centre: guests sign up for a 30-minute slot to play the game, then lie on pillows and share their own memories of “home” in a one-to-one “pillow talk” session. Together, the digital realm and its tangible counterparts invite reflection on how we construct and reconfigure our sense of home and belongings across both virtual and physical landscapes.
